crimes under mayor giuliani and police commissioner bratton and they taking it from red light district from having tourists all over the world come to new york because they cleaned it up. as bill de blasio came in 202014 the exact opposite happened. it s gone down hill and dangerous and resembling a third world country where have you people being pushed in front of subways and homeless people wandering around like zombies stabbing people. he. brian: look at these numbers, betsy, 11 ambushed and unprovoked officers kill in 2020. that s substantial. but i really feel in the last year people are starting to sober up an understanding cops aren t the problem. everyone can get better at their job we get it from me on down. i thought we began to lighten up on that. the numbers don t reveal we have. and that s a be pro, brian, people have got to be loud about fighting that false narrative that police officers are the
mongering but a big believer in second amendment rights. but not many students tell me they have an issue with the second amendment or they would like to see the second amendment go away or like to see people s guns taken away. they literally don t want to be fearful in school or in the case of the chicago kids in their community. i think this is a message that pro-second amendment gun owners can get behind. i agree. who wants to be fearful of the bad guys out there. whether they are crazy or intentionally criminals, nobody wants to face somebody with a gun that is after you. we re all in the same boat. but when someone like joe biden demonizes the nra, he s playing politics. the nra isn t the problem. the guns per se aren t the problem. the problem is we ve been very unsuccessful in this country focusing on the policies that
all the gun laws in the world don t mean nothing if you don t have enforcement. you mentioned earlier the only thing we are doing is harnessing people that aren t the problem. that s the responsibility of the people we elect to clear the air on this topic and stop politicizing all of these topics that we deal with on a day-to-day basis not just gun control. steve: thank you very much, daryn, dom neck and lowe. lou. just hit a wall immigration in the senate. where does it go from here if anywhere? what the president is saying this morning from washington is live next. it s also almost unbelievable. an accused cop killer applauded as he is led into jail. why? wait until you hear. home safe. yeah, my dad says our insurance doesn t have that. what?! you can leave worry behind when liberty stands with you™.
this wretched experience? but there may always be some space in the media for him, depending on how free he s willing to be. all right. dana milbank, always good to see you, sir. thank you. thanks, craig. former republican congressman, david jolly, also joins me. david, you re going to hear even supporters of the president say that spicer and others in the white house aren t the problem. it s this president. what s your opinion on that? does this change anything for the white house? oh, it does. i think it s a clear indication the president is moving and retooling to play offense on all things russia and mueller. we know that. listen, spicer, priebus, the rnc crowd they brought in, priebus former deputy chief of staff that already left, they were the establishment wing that was never quite comfortable in a trump administration, and trump was never comfortable with them. look, it s a universal truth that spicer had an impossible job. but for this president, spicer didn t do a g
